"Haven't all the sadhanas and spiritual practices been led by expectations of getting rid of something that shouldn't be there or adding something that should be there?

What is that which you can't accept about you (or others), turning your life into a long journey of painful learning? Can you stop the way things or people are? The pattern to deny, ignore, elude, restrain or substitute this elusive thing is everywhere. Take a look and try not to see it and you will realize how impossible it is.

We believe, in some hidden area of our psyche, that we are infallible. We say that we are not with our mouth but our belief system is rooted in a contradiction.

When there is knowledge, there is a tendency to define. When we define, we remove something from its oneness state and transfer it to a denser quality of existence; from abstract to concrete, from energy to matter.

Therefore, all the efforts to awaken ourselves are in vain. The idea you have about life is an unsolvable puzzle. Finally, when one thinks all the pieces are together, then the soft wind of fate scatters them to the four directions.

Enlightenment of the mind is an undependant evolutionary process that does not need our approval or conscious willingness. When the fruit is ripe, it falls; when the chaotic mesh of the cocoon is ready, the butterfly starts to fly. Never before...

Similarly, when our mind-heart-body compound is in sync and integrates the cosmic and earth's energies, then the transformation takes place and we feel, think and see in a different manner."

*Meditation here does not belong to the realm of text analysis. That would not be complete silence. It approaches more to the act of watching and not adding any more fuel (ideas) than the ones that already show up. Once mind is established in that rhythm, it can extend itself beyond the ordinary.
